Don't know much about Business Week magazine? Well, we publish 51 issues a year (skipping the issue that would close Christmas week). We've been a weekly since our debut issue, Sept. 7, 1929, just in time to warn of dangerous overheating in the stock market, which crashed a few weeks later. Ever since, we've been pointing the way for leaders throughout business, government, education -- wherever crucial decisions have to be made -- by interpreting and forecasting developments as diverse as the transistor, the jet plane, economic slumps and booms, global trade, and now the Information Revolution (Business Week published its first story about "a software scheme called Mosaic, which attempts to put a friendly face on the [Internet]" way back in March, 1994).
The magazine currently boasts more than 1 million subscribers and almost 7 million readers worldwide. Serving their needs is by far the largest editorial staff of any business magazine, including specialists in economics, finance, international business, and technology, in New York, 15 other U.S. cities, and 10 foreign bureaus.
Of countless accolades this staff has won, the most recent and prestigious was the 1996 National Magazine Award for General Excellence, equivalent to a Pulitzer Prize for newspapers. The 1996 award was especially gratifying since we had just won the same accolade in 1994, proving a level of consistent excellence unmatched in business journalism.
If you need to know anymore, spend some time with businessweek.com. It shouldn't take long to understand why Business Week is the world's largest-selling business magazine -- and why our slogan is "Most Read. Best Read. Worldwide."
